Question

Pls help

solve for x

|3x-8|+7=2

Answer 1

`\\ \tt\Rrightarrow |3x-8|+7=2`

`\\ \tt\Rrightarrow |3x-8|=2-7`

`\\ \tt\Rrightarrow |3x-8|=-5`

Because of absolute vale there is no solution

Answer 2

No solution

Explanation:

To solve first you need to isolate the absolute value sign. Do this by subtracting 7 from each side.

• |3x-8| = -5

Now an expression inside absolute value bars is set to a negative. Since absolute value makes terms and expressions positive, there is no x-value that could make this true. Therefore, there are no solutions.
